Chapter 137
Observing Erina and Alice, Mineo smirked and spoke.
"In my opinion, you two young ladies have truly misunderstood me."
"You assume that my act of liking both of you at once is a sign of unfaithful behavior."
"But in reality, you should at least consider my position and perspective."
Hearing Mineo's words, Alice and Erina both laughed.
"I ask you, Mineo-kun, is it even possible for such behavior to have a legitimate reason?"
"Of course there is a legitimate reason!"
"The three of us have known each other for three years. Although our face-to-face meetings have only taken place over a few days, in many ways, I have never withheld any information from you."
"When I have special ingredients, I think of inviting you to taste them. Having superpowers, I didn't hide those either."
"From this point, you should be able to feel that in the process of our interaction, I have been quite sincere."
"When someone likes another person, they think about making every effort to give the best things to them."
"This is something everyone does in the process of love."
"I am the same; I also thought about sharing good things with you."
"You already know that I possess a very special, mysterious power."
"Those rare ingredients are actually not that big of a deal."
"I possess eternal life, the ability to travel to various worlds, and a youth that will never end."
"Therefore, for me, what I pursue in this life is happiness."
"Being with you, I feel very glad and happy..."
"So I thought about sharing what I have with you as well."
"I hope that Erina and Alice, you can accompany me toward eternity."
"Even after many years have passed, I still hope you will remain as beautiful as you are today."
Reaching this part, Mineo paused for a moment.
Then he looked into the eyes of the two girls and spoke with a serious tone.
"I don't want it to be that several years later, you only live within my memories."
"Because I truly want to continue interacting with you forever."
"Saying that I am an unfaithful man, I don't want to deny anything either."
"But in my heart, from beginning to end, there has only been one thought, which is that I want to be with the people I like, holding hands toward the end of time..."
"And the two of you are the ones I want to hold hands with to walk together."
"Well, the thoughts in my heart have basically all been conveyed."
"As a final addition, I also realize that matters of feelings cannot be forced. I am not someone who likes to force others; I will respect the people I like."
"If I truly cannot make you like me, then there is nothing I can do... no matter what the final result may be! But at the very least, I hope our relationship can last forever..."
Hearing Mineo convey so much of his inner heart, Erina and Alice both fell silent.
At first, they indeed instinctively thought that Mineo was purely a flirtatious man who enjoyed playing with women.
But now, they felt that they were the ones who had misunderstood Mineo.
It was true that Mineo was always thinking about building a harem, but regarding the construction of a harem, what man has never thought about it?
A scumbag and a man with many deep affections are two different concepts.
Mineo had actually only ever thought about sharing good things with the people he liked.
At this second, within the hearts of Alice and Erina, both felt a hidden sense of being moved.
No matter how sharp this scoundrel's words usually were, at the very least, he truly liked them.
Being liked by a man like this should be a form of happiness.
Because no matter what danger was faced, he truly would be the first person to stand up to protect you.
In truth, within Erina and Alice's hearts, they did not have an overly great hatred toward the practice of a man having multiple wives.
After all, as daughters of a prestigious family, the kind of life lived by the rich and powerful was something these two cousins understood very well.
As long as the man they loved cared for them, then that was enough.
Calculating too many things would only make one more exhausted.
Looking into their own hearts, Erina and Alice were very aware that they both had deep feelings of liking toward Mineo.
Perhaps there was one sentence from Mineo that was very accurate: that since three years ago when they became good friends, the destiny between them and Mineo had already begun.
Biting her lower lip tightly, Alice glanced toward Mineo.
Alice's voice sounded a bit soft.
"I didn't... I didn't expect a scoundrel like you could say words like that."
Looking toward Alice, Mineo said with a smile.
"Actually, I only conveyed the real thoughts that are in my heart."
"So, next, how will Erina and Alice give their answer to me?"
After saying those words, Mineo noticed that the two girls began to look tense, so Mineo continued speaking.
"Don't be tense, there is still plenty of time. You can answer me after you have thought about it carefully... Whether it's choosing to establish an official relationship as lovers, or remaining as friends, I will choose to accept it."
Hearing Mineo's words, Alice and Erina both clenched their fists tightly.
Alice could be seen pulling Erina's wrist, then saying to Mineo while lowering her head.
"I want to talk privately just the two of us with Erina."
"Can you give us a little time?"
Without waiting for an answer from Mineo, Alice immediately pulled Erina's hand and brought her into the bedroom.
Once they reached the room, Alice tilted her head up and looked toward Erina.
"What are you planning?"
Seeing Alice observing her, Erina also looked at her calmly.
"Alice, what are you planning?"
"I can feel that Mineo likes you very much..."
"But he also likes Erina very much!"
Alice bit her lower lip; she turned her gaze elsewhere.
"I like Mineo!"
"I want to enter a love relationship with him. When I'm with him, I feel very happy!"
"Erina, you should have the same feelings too, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense... I don't have feelings like that..."
Hearing Alice's words, Erina wanted to immediately deny it, but Alice continued speaking.
"Erina and I basically grew up together since childhood!"
"In this world, who else understands you more than I do?"
"Facing anyone, Erina will always show a cold and arrogant attitude."
"But what about when facing Mineo?"
"It seems that only when facing Mineo does Erina look more alive, like a normal young girl!"
